Wallahi

Means swear to god. Every Somali says it this way. You won’t find a Somali saying it wallah. Instead of wallahi. But however there are Arabs who say wallah and words like yallah. Arabs have adopted into say it into this way even though we already have a way authobillah💀But Somalis have changed it with an hi at the end the same way the changed the name abdullah to abdullahi at the end. I bet if they heard the word yallah they would change it into yallahi😭😭

Are you Somali?

Yes!
Say wallahi..
Walllahi I’m somali

Naya

A Somali word basically only used to females because it’s a femqnin word. The opposition of naya is warya and it’s the boy version. The only difference is men can’t say naya to girl. Because it’s very disrespectful. Only girls can say it to girls. It’s basically like a white person say the n word to a black person. It just means girl low key rude/ you don’t use this word to you elders

Naya come here girl
